" Israel-Lebanon: Stop killings ofcivilians
Amnesty International is gravely concerned that civilians continue tobear the brunt of the mounting tension between Israel and Lebanon. In the past week some300 Lebanese civilians, including dozens of children, have been killed and hundredsinjured in a large-scale bombing campaign by Israeli forces, who have also deliberatelytargeted and destroyed dozens of bridges, roads, powers stations, the airport and port,and other civilian facilities and infrastructure.
The Israeli air strikes haveforced hundreds of thousands of civilians to flee their homes and thousands more are atrisk as the Israeli army has warned the population in certain areas to leave, but at thesame time it has bombed the roads and bridges out of the areas, trapping civilians there.
Hizbullah’s armed wing, for its part, has killed 15 Israeli civilians,including three children, and injured hundreds in rocket attacks into Northern Israel, aswell as 14 soldiers. Such attacks have caused substantial damage to homes and othercivilian properties in towns and villages in Northern Israel.
AmnestyInternational has called on the UN Security Council to adopt urgent measures to addresssuch blatant violations of international law, which include war crimes, and to protectthe civilians – as it is they, mostly Lebanese but also Israeli civilians, who are payingthe heaviest price.
The UN should deploy an immediate fact-finding mission toinvestigate attacks against civilians and civilian objects and other breaches ofinternational law, and to make concrete recommendations for measures to be taken to spareprotect civilians. Whether by strengthening the existing UN Interim Force in Lebanon(UNIFIL) or by deploying a different international peace keeping force – the aim must beto ensure the effective protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure.
Inthe meantime, The UN Security Council should also order the suspension of all militarysupplies to Israel and Hizbullah until each party institutes the appropriate measures toensure that civilians and civilian objects are not attacked. "
